Tuesday, nathan had a tremendous seizure. He's had tremors on and off before, which were being treated as nerves because he was struck by lightning.

The drugs haven't been helping, and after doing some research, we've realized that he probably has epilepsy. Getting diagnosed isn't really an option (no insurance, no money), but watching him have that seizure was terrifying. I've been married two years, and have known him for 6.

He says that after doing the research, he shows all the signs. Periods of memory loss as a child, blacking out as a child for no apparent reason.

After the lightning strike, he started having tremors. They weren't bad, until about a year and a half ago, he suffered a severe trauma at work...A delivery truck he was driving rolled down a hill and nearly ran over two children. He stopped the truck, but ever since, any time he starts getting seriously emotional or stressed, he starts shaking.

Tueday, he and I had a major fight, and he started having a violent seizure. It took him nearly an hour to stop shaking. I've never seen anything so terrifying...I honestly thought he was dying. I felt so powerless.

Well, to make a long story less long, i'd like to know if there is anything I can do to ease him through these seizures. They seem to be getting worse as time goes by. Also, how to older epilepsy patients deal with it? Does it get worse with age?

I'm confused, and scared, but I think I can handle this, as long as I know what's going on.
